MOTAT LIVE Day: Communications

This September, call in to LIVE Day: Communications at MOTAT and learn how to converse with the world around you, and how communication technology has changed over time. Check out the Get Smart exhibition, and discover Aotearoa’s journey from room-sized computers to the cell phone in your pocket, from punch cards to coding, and from Morse code to X. The Telecommunications space offers a unique hands-on experience with telecom equipment and technology. Try your hand at being a switchboard operator, or have a go with a rotary phone. Have a go at making your own radio with our fun make and take activity – you can take home a Bell Colt radio replica. Join the Morse Code hunt or, if you need some down time, visit the Low Sensory Cottage for games and activities. Plus plenty more fun activities suited for the whole whānau!
